Forgive my spelling, and if you have any clues about what's going on here, _please_ help... I have two Compaq Proliant 1500 servers, configured with dual P166 processors, 128MB of 60ns ram, 6 4.1 gb fast-wide scsi drives in a hot-swappable raid5 array using the Compaq Smart2/E raid controller. /dev/ida/c0d0p1 is 128M swap /dev/ida/c0d0p2 is 500m ext2 mounted as / (about 420 - 460 mb used) /dev/ida/c0d0p3 is Compaq Diagnostics partition (loaded from latest smartstart CD version 4.70) /dev/ida/c0d0p4 is the remainder of the array (about 15gb) ext2 mounted at /local/usr/share Each machine has two Intel EtherPro 100 PCI NICS. /proc/pci: PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 10, function 0: SCSI storage controller: NCR 53c825 (rev 2). Medium devsel. IRQ 10. Master Capable. Latency=255. I/O at 0x7100 [0x7101]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x8300000 [0x8300000].

Bus 0, device 15, function 0: Non-VGA device: Intel 82375EB (rev 5). Medium devsel. Master Capable. Latency=248. I have configured networking using netconf from a console comand line. I configure eth0 with a static IP and have no problem with the servers. I then attempt to "bond" the two ethernet devices... Each card is configured with identical static IP and hostname. "alias bond0 bonding" is added to /etc/conf.modules, after the eth0 and eth1 lines. I add the bonding module: /etc/conf.modules: alias bond0 bonding alias eth0 eepro100 alias eth1 eepro100 ifcfg-bond0 is added to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: DEVICE="bond0" USERCTL="no" ONBOOT="yes" BOOTPROTO="none" BROADCAST="192.168.1.255" NETWORK="192.168.1.0" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" IPADDR="192.168.1.5" ifcfg-eth0 and -eth1 are modified to this: DEVICE="eth0" | "eth1"

Everything works peachy-keen, the machines boot up, the load is distributed across the NICs evenly, and the day is pretty much full of sunshine -- with the exception of occasional (under heavy load) messages that indicate an NMI for "reason 20" or "reason 30" with the question "Are you running some type of funky power save mode?" ifconfig craps out when attempting to shutdown device bond0, eth0 and eth1. /proc can't be unmounted and the shutdown sometime hangs at this point requiring the server to powered off. /var/log/messages of shutdown that causes an ifconfig fault: Sep 9 08:12:32 P1500A

This more of a kernel problem that net-tools problem. Changing component.
The NMI one might be a Compaq funny. Its hard to be sure as NMI is used by boards to indicate many things some fatal and most not. Do both boards see the NMI The other trace looks like a real bug that was fixed in the 2.2.17tree when downing bonded interfaces.
